An exploratory, impressionistic book that roves across memoir, portraiture and cultural meditation ... D’Erasmo is a graceful and heartfelt writer, particularly good at distilled evocations of character ... It’s a pleasure to dip into these creative lives, but ultimately, the book feels like a shallow dive into the potent questions with which it begins.
A rewarding deep dive ... While D’Erasmo’s self-reflections sometimes detract from the focus on her subjects, the final product inspires. Artists seeking inspiration would do well to check this out.
